The 

UNIVERSAL  BODY 
LAW 


By 
CARL  ROSLEY 


A  revelation  of  an  entirely  new  truth.  How  the  whole 
universe,  including  our  own  human  body  is  built  up 
and  governed,  wholly  natural,  by  a  smallest  and  think- 
ing individual  life  therein. 


The  UNIVERSAL  BODY  LAW 

By  Carl  Rosley 

What  is  the  universe  and  all  life  within,  and  what  is  the  purpose  of  the  life 
of  the  human  race  on  the  earth's  surface?  Will  ever  a  human  being  be  able  to 
answer  these  questions?  Astronomy  teaches  us  that  our  earth  revolves  around 
her  so-called  axis,  that  our  moon  goes  around  the  earth,  and  that  the  earth,  with 
the  attendant  moon,  goes  around  the  sun.  If  we  accept  this  teaching  as  the  un- 
questioned truth,  then  is  it  herewith  proved  that  those  three  bodies,  including  all 
other  planets  in  our  so-called  solar  system,  serve  as  a  unit,  a  life-function,  as  a 
living  part  in  the  whole  universe.  How  then  is  it  possible  for  us  to  doubt  any 
longer  that  the  whole  universe,  including  all  the  stars  or  bodies  which  astronomy 
has  discovered  and  will  discover  in  the  future,  can  be  anything  else  but  an  al- 
mighty real  living  body  of  whose  immensity  we  can  have  no  conception,  in  which 
each  individual  unit,  from  the  mightiest  sun  down  to  the  tiny  electrons,  is  put  in 
its  right  place,  and  has  to  perform  its  life-function  just  as  every  part  or  single  cell 
in  our  own  human  body  or  like  each  part  in  those,  by  us  humans  created,  living 
bodies:  the  machines.  Would  it  not  be  so  if  each  individual  unit  or  solar  system 
could  go  around  in  the  universe  wherever  they  fancied,  that  there  would  be  chaos 
—anarchy?  With  the  impossibility  of  a  united  action,  could  the  universe  ever  live 
as  a  whole,  unlike  our  own  human  body,  without  a  government  or  brains?  As  long 
as  we  only  try  to  discover  more  stars,  their  movements  and  distance  from  the 
earth,  and  picture  to  ourselves  all  those  uncountable  bodies,  as  individual  mass- 
formations  only,  without  real  life  and  without  a  government  or  brain,  we  never 
will  be  able  to  understand  their  purpose  of  existence,  their  movements  and  action; 
but  if  we  identify  the  whole  universe  as  a  real  live  body,  with  a  supreme  gov- 
ernment or  brain,  then  will  we  be  able  to  understand  everything.  The  dark  mys- 
tery of  life  will  begin  to  dawn  in  our  brains.  After  this  identification  of  the  whole 
universe  as  a  real  live  body  with  a  supreme  government  and  a  Supreme  Being,  we 
will  also  now  understand  all  the  teachings  about  God  when  it  is  said:  God  is  al- 
mighty; God  is  all-wise;  God  is  everywhere;  God  is  with  us  and  in  us;  we  are 
embodied  in  God,  and  are  a  part  of  God's  body,  like  each  single  cell  is  a  part  of 
our  own  human  body,  and  we  serve  therein  only  the  same  purpose.  Is  our  earth 
a  mass  formation  only,  or  is  it  a  real  live  body?  As  long  as  we  conceive  of  the 
earth  as  a  so-called  globe  or  ball,  with  an  outside  crust  like  a  hollow  rubber  ball; 
as  long  as  we  try  to  discover  what  forces  and  what  miracles  keep  this  ball  in  its 
place  in  the  universe;  as  long  as  we  write  books  about  gravitation,  attraction  and 
repulsion,  we  never  will  learn  and  never  can  understand  why  our  earth  exists, 
what  forces  keep  it  in  its  place,  and  what  is  the  purpose  of  the  existence  of  all 
outside  life.  But  if  we  identify  our  earth  as  a  real  living  organism  in  our  solar 
system,  and  therefore  a  part  in  the  whole  universe  or  God's  body,  with  her  real 
life  and  action  not  on  the  outside,  but  inside,  like  in  all  other  living  bodies,  then 
will  we  begin  to  understand  that  miracle  that  holds  this  living  organ  in  its  place, 
and  the  life-purpose  of  our  so-called  globe  in  the  universe.  We  will  also  then  un- 
derstand the  cause  of  our  so-called  earthquakes  as  a  natural  movement  of  a  part 
of  that  body;  the  so-called  tide,  as  a  life-function,  like  the  breathing  of  any  other 
living  body,  or  the  beating  of  our  own  heart,  and  the  so-called  eruption  of  volcanos 
as  the  release  of  newly  created  life  in  our  earth,  and  therefore  as  the  necessary 
life-function  of  that  body. 

What  is  the  meaning  and  purpose  of  all  plant  and  animal  life  on  this  earth? 
We  know  and  can  see  that  each  individual  living  body  on  this  earth  has  an  outside 
life  or  clothing  in  many  forms,  for  protection  of  that  inner  life  of  that  same  body, 
and  we  know,  too,  that  on  every  plant  and  animal  there  exists  a  real  moving  life, 
the  so-called  insects.  If  we  awake  from  our  dreamy  mystery  of  life,  and  open  our 
eyes  so  that  we  will  be  able  to  see  and  identify  our  earth  as  a  real  live  body,  with 
a  government  or  brain  like  any  other  living  thing,  and  not  a  mass  formation  only, 
without  organized  inner  life,  then  will  we  begin  to  understand  the  purpose  and 
the  meaning  of  all  plant  life,  as  the  necessary  clothing  of  the  earth  body,  and  all 
animal  and  human  life,  as  the  necessary  insects,  to  keep  the  body  in  a  healthy 
condition.

When  every  ^rpjLSCpiv^an^beaKS^an:  see"  and  feel  that  all  life  consists  of  in- 
dividual and  united  bodies  of  all  forms  and  size,  and  no  life  can  exist  without  such 
a  unit,  how  then  is  it  possible  for  us  not  to  recognize  the  whole  universe  as  a  real 
live  body,  but  as  a  purposeless  imaginary  mass  formation  only? 

What  life-purpose  has  the  human  race  on  this  earth?     Before  we  attempt  to 
answer  this  question,  it  is  necessary  for  us  to  banish  all  our  foolish  imagination 
out  of  our  brains,  that  God  made  the  earth,  and  all  plant  and  animal  life  thereon 
for  the  purpose  only  to  provide  for  his  human  children  a  place  to  live  happy  and 
in  luxury.    We  must  come  to  realize  that  our  earth  is  not  made  for  the  benefit  of 
the  human  race,  but  that  we  are  made  for  the  benefit  of  the  earth-body.    We  know 
and  can  see,  that  a  certain  number  of  insect  life  on  all  plants  is  absolutely  neces- 
sary for  their  growth  and  for  the  transfer  of  life  from  one  plant  to  another,  and 
we  are  enabled  to  see  with  our  own  eyes,  that  those  insects  which  grow  and  live 
on  one  plant  only,  after  the  performance  of  a  certain  kind  of  work  thereon,  die 
and  their  dead  bodies  remain  on  the  same  plant.     Therefore,  all  life  which  did 
grow  on  the  outside  is  absorbed  inside  the  plant  and  consequently  helps  to  build 
and  helps  to  grow  them.    If  we  now  understand  that  the  purpose  of  all  outside  life 
on  a  healthy  growing  plant  is  to  build  and  to  benefit  that  same  body,  and  in  com- 
parison identify  our  earth  as  a  real  living  and  growing  body,  then  will  we  be  able 
to  understand  the  purpose  and  the  meaning  of  all  plant  and  animal  life,  including 
human  life  on  our  so-called  globe.    We  have  no  record  of  how  many  races  and  na- 
tions existed  before  our  time  on  this  earth,  but  by  digging  deep  in  the  earth's  crust 
we  find  everywhere  skeletons  of  a  former  life  which  grew  and  was  built  on  and 
above  the  earth's  surface.    When  all  this  decayed  life  was  covered  with  sand  the 
earth  undoubtedly  grew  bigger,  because  this  former  life  on  the  earth  requires  and 
fills  out  now  a  certain  space  in  the  earth's  crust,  and  so  by  building  and  destroy- 
ing, we  help  to  grow  the  earth  body.    We  also  now  will  understand  the  reason  why 
all  the  great  races,  all  the  great  nations,  and  all  the  great  cities  before  our  time 
on  this  earth  had  to  go  down  and  were  destroyed,  and  why  everything  that  is 
growing  or  is  built  on  this  earth  at  the  present  time,  including  races  and  nations, 
has  to  die,  so  that  all  material  life  which  is  growing  or  built  on  the  earth,  can  be 
absorbed  inside,  for  the  growing  iand  benefit  of  the  earth  body.    All  our  discoveries 
of  new  stars  and  suns  are  absolutely  worthless  and  bring  us  no  nearer  to  the  knowl- 
edge of  life  in  the  universe  than  the  human  race  was  a  thousand  years  ago,  as  long 
as  we  have  no  foundation  on  which  to  build  up  -an  entirely  new  theory  of  the  pur- 
pose for  their  existence.    With  our  present  belief  in  the  existence  of  a  mysterious 
spirit  life,  we  will  never  understand  the  purpose  and  the  meaning  of  all  body-life 
in  the  universe,  but  if  we  recognize  our  so-called  five  senses  as  the  foundation  of 
all  our  truths,  then  it  will  be  impossible  for  us  to  deny  the  existence  of  all  life 
only  in  the  form  of  individual  and  united  bodies  on  the  surface  of  our  earth,  and 
therefore,  in  the  whole  universe. 

What  is  the  human  body?  We  still  believe  and  are  convinced  that  the  origin 
and  development  of  all  life  on  our  earth  must  and  will  remain  the  secret  of  God. 
and  we  never  will  and  never  can  solve  this  miracle,  therefore,  we  still  speak  from 
growing  of  all  plant  and  animal  life.  Science  only  speaks  no  more  of  growing  but 
from  building  of  all  so-called  cell-life.  If  science  recognizes  the  fact  that  all  life 
on  this  earth,  including  our  'own  human  body,  does  not  unnaturally  and  mysteri- 
ously grow,  but  is  built  up  naturally  by  degrees  from  the  individual  cellular  life 
therein,  just  as  we  human  beings  build  up  our  machines,  our  ships,  or  a  high  build- 
ing, then  science  acknowledges  therewith,  unconsciously,  the  fact  that  in  every 
plant  and  animal  body,  there  must  undoubtedly  exist  a  leading  life,  a  government 
or  brain,  to  supervise  and  direct  the  building  of  like  bodies  in  a  certain  race  or 
art,  otherwise  there  would  not  be  a  body  alike  in  race  or  art,  but  all  kinds  of  im- 
perfect, formless  and  useless  life. 

Science  teaches  us  that  the  building  of  the  human  body  commenced  with  the 
uniting  of  the  so-called  germ-cells  from  the  male  and  the  female,  but  ignores,  or 
does  not  want  to  think  of  the  fact  that  there  must  undoubtedly  exist  a  life  in  the 
germ-cells  that  must  be  capable  of  thinking,  to  create  thoughts  for  a  plan  on  which 
to  commence  to  build  a  whole  new  and  perfect  body.  Without  the  existence  of  a 
thinking  life  in  the  cells  it  would  be  impossible  to  build  such  a  new  body,  just  as 
all  the  machinery  in  a  factory  never  can  build  a  ship,  without  the  leading  and 
thinking  of  human  life.  Therefore,  the  creation  of  all  life  and  the  human  body 
would  still  remain  God's  mystery  and  to  us  a  miracle.  We  are  informed  that  the 
bones  in  our  human  body  are  real  factories,  wherein  the  red  cells  in  our  blood  are 
manufactured,  and  that  the  white  cells  in  our  blood,  by  the  opening  of  the  body 
through  a  wound,  increase  many  times  in  number,  and  fight  and  die,  to  defend  the 


body  against  that  invading  enemy-life,  the  incoming  germs.  If  inside  our  bones 
the  red  cells  are  manufactured,  then  there  must  undoubtedly  exist  a  leading  and 
thinking  life  inside  of  them,  to  supervise  and  direct  that  work,  otherwise  the  red 
cells  could  not  be  built  naturally,  so  we  still  have  to  believe  in  miracles,  and 
we  might  just  as  well  stop  all  attempts  trying  to  discover  the  origin  and  develop- 
ment of  all  cellular  life.  If  the  white  cells  fight  and  die  for  the  protection  of  our 
human  body,  then  the  life  inside  of  them  must  undoubtedly  have  a  particular  vital 
interest  in  the  healthy  maintenance  of  the  whole  body,  distinctly  different  from  all 
other  life  therein,  and  if  they  are  found  and  go  everywhere,  then  they  must  be 
the  masters,  and  a  part  of  a  leading  and  supreme  life  in  our  human  body.  We  are 
also  informed  that  the  single  cells  do  not  grow  by  degrees,  like  the  whole  body, 
but  that  a  thick  cell  splits  at  once  into  two  parts  of  the  same  size,  just  as  we 
humans  launch  a  complete  ship  into  the  water  at  once,  or  if  we  build  a  new  house 
close  to  another  and  move  it  away  after  it  is  built,  and  so  grows  at  once,  but  the 
whole  fleet  or  the  whole  city  grows  by  degrees,  like  the  whole  human  body. 

Science  tells  us  that  each  of  our  so-called  five  senses  has  his  own  department 
in  our  brain,  and  that  all  those  parts  are  directly  connected  through  nerves  with 
their  certain  organ  which  they  serve,  and  certainly  have  all  other  important  parts 
in  our  body,  a  connection  with  our  brain,  or  in  other  words,  are  represented  in  the 
government  of  the  whole  body.  To  make  us  better  understand  the  construction  and 
working  ability  of  our  brain,  it  is  compared  with  a  big  city  or  a  central  station, 
where  the  uncountable  nerves  in  our  brain  and  those  leading  to  our  whole  body 
are  compared  with  our  own  telephone  and  telegraph  system,  in  which  messages 
are  sent  and  received,  and  wherewith  our  brain  governs  and  controls  the  whole 
body.  We  are  also  informed  that  our  brain  consists  of  two  main  parts,  and  between 
them,  in  the  center,  a  white  mass  can  be  observed  that  moves  always  from  one 
part  to  another,  but  seems  not  to  be  a  very  important  matter  in  our  brain,  and 
therefore  this  white  mass  is  denied  much  consideration.    If  there  are  uncountable 
veins  and  nerves  in  our  body  and  in  our  brain  for  transportation  and  communica- 
tion, and  each  part  in  our  body  is  regularly  supplied  with  that  necessary  food  for 
that  individual  life,  and  with  the  means  of  production  therein,  and  if  our  brain 
sends  out  messages  or  orders,  over  the  whole  body  and  receives  answers,  then 
there  must  undoubtedly  exist  a  thinking  individual  life  in  the  cells,  on  each  end 
of  the  nerves,  to  send,  to  receive,  and  to  answer  these  messages,  and  a  leading  and 
thinking  life  everywhere,  to  regulate  and  direct  the  distribution  and  transportation 
of  all  material  out  of  our  stomach  over  the  whole  body,  btherwise  our  body  could 
not  exist  as  a  material  unit,  and  we  might  as  well  all  adopt  Christian  Science  that 
relieves  us  of  all  thinking,  because  then  we  do  not  exist  and  therefore  can  have 
no  brains  with  which  to  think.     Science  attempts  to  discover  the  cause  of  our 
thinking,  our  power  to  create  thoughts  in  our  brain,  by  investigating  the  location 
and  the  working  of  the  nerves  and  the  cells,  or  in  other  words,  in  the  solid  con- 
struction of  our  brain,  but  gives  not  much  attention  and  consideration  to  that 
movable  real  life  in  the  center  of  our  brain,  the  so-called  white  mass,  just  as  the 
man  from  Mars  might  try  to  discover  that  real  and  thinking  life  in  a  big  city,  not 
in  the  moving  human  mass,  but  in  the  buildings,  streets,  and  wire  netting  therein, 
or  the  driving  power  in  our  machines,  not  in  the  steam  and  electricity,  but  in  that 
solid  material.    All  our  efforts  to  discover  the  origin  and  development  of  all  cellu- 
lar life  are  useless  as  long  as  we  humans  imagine  ourselves  to  be  the  only  living 
thing  besides  God  that  is  capable  of  thinking,  and  that  all  the  other  individual 
living  bodies  in  the  whole  universe  (of  their  numbers,  bigness  and  smallness,  we 
have  no  conception)  have  no  brains  to  create  thoughts,  but  if  we  come  to  the  con- 
clusion that  every  single  unit,  from  the  greatest  sun  down  to  the  electrons  must 
undoubtedly  have  some  kind  of  government  or  brain  in  itself,  to  obtain  food,  to 
produce  and  lead  that  body,  then  only  will  we  begin  to  understand  the  origin  and 
development  of  all  cellular  life,  and  all  other  life  in  the  whole  universe.     If  we 
want  to  understand  the  building  of  our  human  body,  the  cause  of  life  therein,  and 
the  creation  of  our  thoughts  in  our  brain,  it  is  necessary  for  us  to  compare  our 
body   with  the  human-created  life:    machines,  ships,  railroads  and  airplanes,  or 
towns,  cities,  states,  or  nations.    Only  with  this  comparison  is  it  possible  for  us  to 
understand  our  existence  and  actions,  because  all  life  is  built  up  on  the  same 
principle  through  the  same  cause  and  for  the  same  purpose,  that  is,  to  meet  the 
demands  of  the  individual  life  therein,  to  build  tools,  with  them  machines,  houses, 
cities,  transportation  and  communication  necessary  for  their  increasing  numbers 
to  live  and  to  form  a  government  for  the  leadership  of  that  same  body  as  a  whole, 
to  defend  himself  and  to  obtain  food.    We  therefore  undoubtedly  must  identify  the 
so-called  nucleus  or  protoplasm  in  the  germ  and  in  all  other  cells,  the  so-called 


white  cells,  and  t^e'vyljilp  Mass  iii  tke^  «enter"  of  our  brain,  as  a  similar  thinking 
and  leading  life,  that  builds  our  body,  makes  the  human  machine  work  to  get  nec- 
essary material  and  food,  and  creates  a  government  in  our  brain  to  control  and  to 
lead  the  whole  body,  just  like  we  human  beings  build  and  lead  our  ships  or  a 
nation.  If  we  recognize  this  fact,  then  will  we  begin  to  understand  why  every 
human  being  is  built  different,  and  thinks  and  acts  different,  because  each  of  our 
bodies  is  built  by  that  cellular  life  as  a  whole,  to  perform  a  certain  kind  of  work 
for  the  maintenance  of  that  leading  individual  life  in  the  human  bodies  in  a  com- 
munity or  a  nation,  just  like  we  humans  build  our  machines,  our  ships  or  trains, 
to  perform  a  different  kind  of  work,  and  according  to  that,  install  in  them  a  dif- 
ferent driving  power  and  a  different  human  leadership.  We  also  then  will  identify 
our  brain,  not  as  an  imaginary,  miraculous  mechanism  which  is  set  in  motion  by 
a  nonexisting  spirit-life,  but  as  the  real  capital  city,  the  seat  of  the  government 
of  the  whole  human  body,  and  the  moving  unimportant  white  mass  therein,  as  that 
real  and  highest  life  in  our  brain  that  creates  our  thoughts,  our  dreams,  our  mem- 
ory and  our  so-called  conscience,  just  as  some  of  the  human  moving  mass  in  a 
capitol  city  create  the  thought  of  the  nation.  We  then,  too,  will  understand  the 
creation  of  our  thoughts  by  that  lawmaking  body  in  our  brain,  through  the  debat- 
ing and  decision  of  that  individual  life  therein,  the  rejection  of  the  carrying  out  of  a 
certain  thought,  through  the  action  of  the  body  by  a  supreme  individual  life  or 
president.  The  creation  of  our  dreams  by  the  remembrance  or  story  telling  about 
the  past  and  future  action  of  that  body,  Vhen  our  human  ship  lies  quiet  in  the  har- 
bor, and  that  individual  life  is  not  occupied  with  the  leading  of  our  human  body. 
If  we  humans  are  capable  to  keep  books,  in  which  to  record  the  history  and  the 
deeds  of  a  ship,  a  community,  or  a  nation,  then  why  should  that  life  that  governs 
our  body  not  have  similar  means  wherewith  to  record  the  deeds  of  our  human 
body  and  so  create  our  memory  and  our  so-called  conscience? 

We  then  will  realize  that  that  miraculous  so-called  spirit  life  in  our  body  is  in 
reality  nothing  else  than  a  real  individual  body-life,  so  small  and  so  loosely  united, 
that  even  scientists  with  their  present  microscope  cannot  discover  any  single 
bodies  in  it,  and  therefore  call  it  a  white  mass.  Because  we  never  can  make  for 
ourselves  a  conception  of  such  a  life,  and  we  never  can  and  never  will  see  the  form 
of  a  single  body  with  our  naked  eyes,  we  therefore  call  it  a  spirit  life,  but  all  the 
same  it  must  have  a  form  in  which  to  exist,  for  an  immaterial  and  formless 
life  is  a  nothingness,  and  can  exist  only  in  our  imagination.  After  this  enlighten- 
ment we  will  begin  to  wonder  how  it  was  possible  for  us,  trying  to  discover  the 
cause  of  life  and  the  creation  of  our  thoughts  in  the  solid  buildings  of  our  body, 
and  not  in  that  individual  free  moving  life  therein. 

What  is,  and  how  can  we  understand  the  so-called  natural  law?  In  spite  of  all 
our  latest  discoveries,  we  still  explain  the  origin  and  development  of  all  life  in  the 
universe,  and  that  on  our  earth  with  the  simple  words  only:  it  is  natural  law. 
Every  human  being  is  convinced  that  such  a  universal  law  must  exist.  But  if  we 
acknowledge  the  existence  of  such  a  natural  law  then  we  admit  unconsciously  the 
fact  that  there  must  undoubtedly  exist,  too,  a  ruling  and  supreme  life,  which  is 
capable  of  enforcing  this  universal  law.  We  know  that  in  every  ship,  in  every 
state  or  nation,  there  exists  a  government  to  rule  the  individual  life  therein,  and 
we  know,  too,  that  all  the  laws  that  are  made  by  that  highest  governing  body  in 
a  state  or  in  a  great  nation,  can  not  be  enforced  direct  by  that  central  government, 
but  only  indirectly,  from  above  downward,  through  the  governments  of  the  indi- 
vidual states  and  communities,  or  their  agents,  because  it  is  impossible  to  reach 
and  control  all  individual  life  in  a  great  body,  through  one  single  government  only, 
and  therefore  all  the  many  individual  bodies  therein  must  in  turn  have  a  govern- 
ment by  themselves. 

If  we  acknowledge  the  existence  of  a  supreme  natural  body-law,  then  we  do 
admit  herewith  that  all  individual  body-life  in  the  whole  universe  is  governed  by 
the  same  law  and  principle,  and  therefor  must  have  a  similar  government  from 
above  downward,  like  we  humans  govern  all  our  created  bodies  and  great  nations. 
Science  teaches  us  that  all  matter  or  elements  consist  of  atoms,  and  that  the 
nucleus  inside  of  them  is  a  like  life  to  that  so-called  nucleus  or  protoplasm  in  all 
cellular  life,  and  we  learn  further  that  the  single  electrons  move  around  an  orbit 
like  our  earth  goes  around  the  sun.  We  therefore  must  identify  that  so-called 
nucleus  in  an  atom  as  the  real  thinking  and  leading  life  therein,  and  which  un- 
doubtedly builds,  governs  and  leads  that  body.  It  is  useless  trying  to  discover  the 
origin  and  development  of  life  by  dividing  the  individual  bodies  into  their  con- 
stituent elements,  because  life  only  can  exist  in  the  unit,  and  so  we  only  destroy 
life  when  we  so  divide  them.  We  therefore  must  try  to  discover  a  real  material 


small  life  which  is  capable  to  build  and  lead  all  the  individual  bodies  in  the  uni- 
versal body,  and  if  that  life  that  builds  an  atom,  and  that  builds  a  cell,  is  a  simi- 
lar life,  then  we  must  identify  it  as  that  real  supreme  life  which  builds  and  gov- 
erns the  whole  universe.  To  make  ourselves  understand  the  possibility  of  such  a 
small,  by  us  unseen,  life  building  the  whole  universe,  including  our  own  human 
body,  it  is  necessary  to  point  to  the  ability  of  that  small  human  life  to  build  a 
great  nation  by  commencing  first  to  make  some  tools,  with  them  to  build  a  hut, 
or  a  cell,  increasing  in  number,  building  more  and  bigger  houses,  making  better 
tools,  with  which  to  build  machine  bodies,  with  those  machines  to  build  big  ships, 
railroads,  big  cities,  and  a  great  nation  as  a  united  body. 

We  have  the  best  example  of  the  growing  and  building  of  a  great  nation  as  a 
body  by  the  leadership  of  that  small  human  life,  here  in  the  United  States.  Before 
the  discovery  of  America  by  the  white  race  life  existed  and  flourished  everywhere 
in  this  country,  but  it  was  a  free  and  divided  so-called  wild  life,  with  uncountable 
single  and  independent  bodies,  which  had  no  leadership  or  organization  that  could 
unite  in  a  strong  body,  and  therefore  that  the  then  existing  divided  human  life  was 
powerless  to  resist  successfully  the  invading  white  men,  who  fought  and  conquered 
all  divided  free  and  independent  life,  used  it  as  a  material  to  build  first  an  organ- 
ized township.  With  their  increasing  number  and  intelligence  they  spread  farther 
by  degrees  throughout  that  wild  life;  commenced  to  build  big  cities,  ships,  rail- 
roads, and  a  great  nation.  We  know  and  can  see  with  our  own  eyes  that  all  life 
on  this  earth  can  exist  only  by  continued  everlasting  changes  from  one  body  to 
another,  or  by  destroying  young  and  old  life,  to  build  with  this  material  new 
bodies.  All  life  in  the  universe,  from  the  smallest  to  the  biggest  individual  body, 
is  governed  by  the  same  universal  body-law,  therefore  there  must  have  been  in 
existence  a  time  in  which  all  life  was  disorganized  and  diffused  without  big  united 
material  bodies  and  without  a  central  government,  just  as  the  white  men  found 
life  in  North  America.  But  as  life  can  dissolve  into  single  elements  only  to  a 
certain  point  without  ceasing  to  be,  and  no  life  can  exist  without  continued 
changes,  therefore  that  smallest  free  and  divided  life  in  space  could  not  continue 
to  live,  and  that  then  that  most  intelligent,  our  present  plasm-life,  by  the  neces- 
sity to  live  commenced  to  build  again  bigger  bodies.  We  know  and  can  see,  as 
long  as  our  so-called  cellular  life  exists  on  our  earth,  it  only  can  dissolve  or  break 
up  to  a  certain  point  in  single  cells,  or  in  the  so-called  microbes,  and  from  the 
necessity  to  live,  they  again  must  unite,  and  begin  to  build  new  plant  bodies, 
otherwise  no  single  cellular  life  could  continue  to  live  on  our  earth. 

With  this  comparison  before  us  of  the  ability  of  those  first  few  white  human 
beings  to  build  under  their  leadership  this  great  body  of  the  United  States,  by  a 
continual  fight  and  by  conquering  to  a  certain  extent  all  other  unorganized  free 
life,  and  by  the  constantly  spreading  out  over  a  greater  area,  with  their  always 
increasing  number,  we  will  learn  to  understand  better  the  possibility  of  a  think- 
ing and  ruling  smallest  life  being  able  to  build  and  govern  the  whole  universal 
body.  The  human  brain  in  this  country  is  most  of  the  time  occupied  with  the  one 
thought,  how  to  make  the  mighty  dollar,  and  that  individual  life  therein  has  no 
time  to  create  other  thoughts,  therefore  the  belief  in  spirits  or  bodyless  life  is 
alarmingly  spreading  over  the  nation,  because  to  accept  such  teaching  requires  no 
self-thinking  of  the  individual,  and  they  only  want  to  laugh  and  enjoy  themselves, 
but  do  not  want  to  think  serious  thoughts.  We  must  begin  to  realize  the  fact  that 
that  so-called  spirit-life  must  undoubtedly  consist  of  some  substance  and  must  have 
a  form  in  which  to  exist,  no  matter  in  what  shape  or  size,  therefore  that  so-called 
spirit  life  can  in  reality  be  nothing  else  than  that  individual  plasm  life  that  is 
present  everywhere  in  the  universe  in  limited  numbers  in  the  atoms,  and  unlim- 
ited in  bigger  bodies.  Before  we  can  form  a  conception  of  the  possibility  of  the 
creation  of  the  whole  universe,  through  a  real  thinking  individual  life,  it  is  neces- 
sary for  us  to  understand  the  difference  between  that  life  in  the  solid  construction 
of  a  body  that  we  can  see  and  feel,  and  that  all-surrounding  life  in  the  air,  that  we 
cannot  see  and  feel,  or  the  difference  between  that  so-called  material  and  spiritual 
life.  We  know  that  in  building,  or  by  the  natural  growing  of  a  big  city  out  of  a 
first  single  house,  or  cell,  that  leading  human  life  must  destroy  uncountable  real 
growing,  living  bodies,  by  taking  out  of  the  earth's  crust  all  natural  grown  mate- 
rial, by  cutting  of  the  living  trees,  and  by  destroying  that  necessary  individual 
living  plant  and  animal  life  for  human  food.  Cutting  off  the  tree  or  digging  the 
ore,  does  not  mean  that  all  individual  life  within  it  is  destroyed  too,  but  it  means 
that  the  necessary  food  supply  is  cut  off  from  that  body,  and  the  foundation,  or 
that  government  on  which  this  growing  body  was  built  up,  is  destroyed,  so  that 
leading  life  therein  can  no  more  build  and  increase,  and  in  time  must  decay,  there- 

5 


fore  that  same  body  lying  on  the  earth's  surface  never  can  be  again  a  real  life  and 
growing  body,  but  becomes  a  material  with  which  to  build  up  other  bodies  in  the 
growing  city.  More  and  more  individual  free  and  growing  life  out  in  the  country 
is  conquered  by  human  life  and  brought  into  the  city  as  material  to  build  more 
houses,  transportation,  communication  and  other  necessities  for  their  increasing 
number,  and  therefore  the  growing  city  is  forming  into  a  solid  mass  of  material 
life,  altogether  distinct  from  the  free  and  independently  growing  small  bodies  out 
in  the  country,  and  the  man  from  the  moon  could  identify  the  compact,  solid  mate- 
rial mass  of  a  big  city  as  a  body,  but  not  the  single  houses,  and  all  plant  and  ani- 
mal life  out  in  the  country,  because  there  is  everywhere  space  between  them  to  see 
the  bare  earth's  surface.  We  have  a  similar  comparison  between  a  free  growing 
nation  and  a  conquered,  declining  nation.  A  nation  just  as  well  as  any  other  liv- 
ing body,  must  in  time  either  grow  or  decline,  because  nations  are  subjected  to 
the  same  universal  law  as  all  other  living  things,  and  cannot  for  a  long  time  re- 
main unchanged.  When  a  growing,  powerful  nation  conquers  a  weak  nation  and 
destroys  their  independent  government,  the  individual  life  therein  is  not  de- 
stroyed, too,  but  the  former  nation  has  ceased  to  be  an  independent  life  body,  and 
is  absorbed  as  a  material  with  which  to  build  up  another  nation. 

We  know  that  in  the  surroundings  of  a  big  city  there  is  always  more  life  and 
action  than  out  in  the  country,  caused  by  that  incoming  and  outgoing  life  which 
creates  friction,  and  consequently  warmth  and  light,  and  as  our  sun  and  all  other 
stars  are  nothing  else  than  big  cities  of  concentrated  life  in  the  universe,  so  will 
we  understand  the  cause  of  their  heat  and  light,  and  why  we  can  see  through  that 
exceedingly  small  free  life  out  in  space  and  recognize  only  the  partly  conquered, 
big,  concentrated  mass  of  life  as  bodies.  We  cannot  know  in  which  state  of  decay 
and  disorganization  all  life  in  the  universe  has  been,  when  that  present  creating 
and  ruling  plasm-life  gained  the  leadership,  but  it  must  have  had  more  intelli- 
gence than  all  other  plasm-life  to  organize  and  to  build  the  best  machine-bodies 
with  which  to  subdue  that  free  and  unorganized  life  into  a  material  necessary  to 
build  more  powerful  united  bodies,  just  as  a  certain  organized  and  powerful  class 
of  human  life,  after  a  revolution  in  a  disorganized  state,  gains  the  leadership,  fights 
and  subdues  all  other  human  life  and  with  these  materials  rebuilds  the  state  body 
on  a  new  foundation,  and  with  a  new  government. 

We  must  understand  that  that  plasm  life  is  present  in  the  atoms  of  all  ele- 
ments, as  the  human  life  is  present  in  each  house  or  hut,  but  that  the  atoms  in 
the  different  elements  differ  in  construction,  in  material,  in  size,  in  organization, 
and  fighting  power,  as  all  human  life  differs  in  many  races,  nations,  and  communi- 
ties, and  lives  in  houses  of  all  designs  and  sizes,  built  of  different  material  in  a 
state  or  a  city,  and  uses  all  kinds  of  machine  bodies  for  construction,  and  even 
destroys  other  life,  or  a  whole  different  nation.  Therefore  that  plasm-life  in  the 
atoms,  as  in  the  human  life  with  her  created  bodies,  lives  in  a  continued  fight 
among  themselves  for  possession  and  for  the  ruling  power.  Then  every  individual 
life  wants  to  rule,  but  not  to  be  ruled;  each  single  body  wants  to  build  and  grow, 
but  no  one  wants  to  be  used  as  a  material  with  which  to  build.  Consequently  the 
most  powerful  and  growing  bodies  send  out  into  space  a  big  fighting  army  to  con- 
quer more  small,  free  life,  absorb  it  as  a  material  on  which  to  build  up  and  grow, 
as  our  own  human  body  uses  our  hands  to  obtain  food,  or  as  a  powerful  nation  con- 
quers weak  nations,  and  grows  bigger  with  this  absorbed  material. 

With  all  these  comparisons  before  us  of  the  ability  of  a  few  leading  human 
beings  to  build  and  govern  a  great  nation  by  increasing  their  own  kind,  and  of 
using  the  first  organized  body  to  build  with  it  better  and  bigger  bodies,  and  with 
them  by  degrees  build  and  govern  a  whole  nation  out  of  an  unorganized  wild  life, 
we  will  now  understand  the  mystery  of  the  origin  and  development  of  all  body-life 
in  the  universe,  and  the  cause  of  their  existence,  with  the  difference  only  that  we 
are  able  to  see  and  count  the  human  life,  but  cannot  see  and  count  that  plasm  life. 
We  also  now  will  understand  the  difference  between  a  growing,  real,  living  body 
with  a  leading,  creating,  increasing  and  ruling  individual  life  therein,  and  a  con- 
quered dead  body,  or  material,  without  an  increasing  and  ruling  life,  and  an  inde- 
pendent government.  All  body-life  in  the  universal  body  is  built  by  that  leading 
plasm-life,  through  the  necessity  to  live  for  their  increasing  number  just  like  the 
human  life  is  building  all  her  bodies  through  the  same  necessity  and  for  the  same 
purpose,  and  therefore,  has  similar  means  of  transportation,  communication,  and 
exchange  of  life  from  one  body  to  another,  like  the  human  race  as  a  whole  or  in  a 
nation,  and  like  all  individual  bodies  in  our  own  human  body.  We  know  that  each 
live  body  on  our  earth  cannot  continue  to  live  and  grow  without  destroying  other 
life,  and  absorbing  it  as  a  food  supply,  and  therefore  we  must  ask  ourselves  if  the 


whole  universe  is  a  united  body  and  no  other  body-life  exists  outside  in  his  sur- 
roundings, with  which  to  obtain  the  necessary  food  supply  on  which  to  live  then 
how  is  it  possible  for  this  universal  body  to  sustain  its  inner  life  without  taking 
m  new  life  or  food  from  abroad?  We  are  enabled  to  answer  this  important  ques- 
tion only  when  we  compare  the  beginning  and  development  of  that  present  body- 
life  in  the  universe,  with  the  beginning  and  development  of  the  partly  free,  sepa- 
rated, floating  life  in  the  egg  of  a  bird  into  a  solid  material  body.  We  know  and 
can  see  that  an  egg  is  a  completely  enclosed  body,  surrounded  by  the  shell,  and 
that  separated  white  and  yellow  life  lives  in  a  state  of  suspensed  peace,  as  long 
as  there  is  no  change  of  life  within,  but  as  soon  as  that  leading  plasm-life  com- 
mences to  build  a  solid  material  body,  the  struggle  begins  between  all  life  in  the 
egg.  Most  of  that  former  free  and  independent  life  is  conquered  and  made  into  a 
solid  material  with  which  to  build  the  new  young  bird  body.  This  egg  contains  all 
that  necessary  material  to  build  a  young  bird  body,  and  besides  warmth  and  air, 
has  no  need  of  a  continued  direct  supply  of  more  material  or  food,  until  a  complete 
new  life  body  is  created  and  all  former  life  within  has  changed  and  is  used  up  in 
building  the  body.  That  increasing  leading  and  creating  plasm-life  therein  can 
obtain  no  more  food  for  itself  and  no  more  material  life  within  the  egg  to  build 
more  cells,  or  houses,  therefore  that  young  living  bird  must  either  break  the  shell 
to  obtain  food  for  the  whole  body,  or  that  ruling  plasm-life  which  did  build  it,  for 
their  own  benefit,  must  give  up  their  government.  All  individual  life  within  must 
again  destroy  each  other,  necessary  to  live,  and  the  whole  new  structure  again  de- 
cays in  a  small,  entirely  new,  changed  life.  With  this  comparison  of  the  change 
and  development  of  life  in  an  egg,  into  a  real,  living  body,  we  must  picture  our- 
selves the  universe  as  a  similar  enclosed  body,  that  is,  developing  out  from  a  kind 
of  fruit  of  a  former  life  or  universe  into  a  united  body-life,  and  therefore  can  build 
and  sustain  life  within  on  her  own  substance,  and  has  no  present  need  of  an  out- 
side supply,  but  whatever  exists  outside  of  the  enclosure,  our  lives  are  only  sub- 
jected to  our  own  universal  body  law. 

After  all  this  enlightenment  we  will  now  entirely  understand  the  so-called 
evolution  of  all  plant  and  animal  life  on  our  earth  body.  We  must  bring  our 
thoughts  back  to  a  time  in  which  our  earth  was  a  young,  small  and  naked  body, 
like  our  moon  is  today,  and  in  growing  bigger  (also  not  contract  but  expand)  like 
any  other  young,  natural,  growing  body,  it  became  necessary  for  the  protection  of 
her  inner  life  to  build  herself  some  clothing.  We  cannot  know  whether  that  first 
cellular  life  on  our  earth  developed  out  of  her  own  moisture,  or  was  fertilized  by 
a  life  from  another  planet,  but  undoubtedly  the  first  plants  on  the  bare  earth's 
surface  were  the  lowest  types,  a  kind  of  moss,  just  as  we  can  observe  growing  on 
the  naked  body  of  a  young  bird.  We  must  understand  first  what  is  the  so-called 
fertilization.  We  know  that  in  building  our  machine  and  all  other  bodies,  each 
factory,  each  department,  and  each  single  machine  can  produce  only  a  certain 
part,  or  a  certain  kind  of  a  body,  therefore  in  building  a  big  ship,  countless  single 
material,  manufactured  parts  and  machines  must  unite  again  and  again,  and  must 
be  transferred  from  one  factory  and  from  one  department  to  another,  also  must 
be  fertilized  many  times  to  build  the  whole  ship's  body.  We  know,  too,  that  all 
the  material  with  all  the  machines  in  a  shipyard  can  never  build  and  put  together 
a  whole  new  ship  without  that  leading  human  life  therein,  and  that  the  design 
thereto  is  not  made  from  the  workers  inside  the  shipyard,  but  comes  in  from  out- 
side with  the  designer.  With  this  comparison  of  the  necessary  transfer  and  ex- 
change of  life  from  one  body  or  from  one  building  plant  to  another,  to  build  all 
the  froin-us-humans-created  bodies,  we  will  understand  the  so-called  fertilization 
between  all  cellular  life  as  the  necessary  transfer  of  a  certain  plasm  life  with  their 
machine  bodies,  from  the  body  of  the  male  into  the  female,  which  cannot  be  pro- 
duced therein,  whether  this  transfer  is  direct  between  that  animal  life,  or  through 
the  insects  among  that  plant  life.  That  transferred  plasm-life  from  the  male  to 
the  female,  we  will  now  recognize  as  the  engineers  and  designers  of  that  to-be- 
created  new  body,  and  so  explain  the  so-called  heredity  and  the  creation  of  similar 
bodies  in  an  art,  race  or  family.  As  that  first  cellular  life  developed  out  of  mois- 
ture or  water  with  the  unity  of  the  atoms  in  the  dry  soil,  or  in  other  words  was 
built  by  that  plasm  life,  it  became  necessary  for  that  entirely  new  and  increasing 
life  on  our  earth  to  unite  and  build  the  first  small  plant  bodies  above  the  soil  for 
protection  and  to  be  enabled  to  draw  new  life  or  food  from  the  air  as  well  as  from 
the  soil.  Through  the  necessity  to  live,  their  increasing  number  spread  out  farther 
and  did  build  more,  better  and  bigger  plants,  to  conquer  with  these  improved 
bodies  more  independent  small  life  in  their  surroundings,  and  to  absorb  it  as  food 
for  their  individual  life  within,  and  to  build  more  cells  for  the  growing  of  these 
plants. 

7 


With  the  increasing  of  more  and  more  towns,  cities  and  nations  of  that  cellular 
life,  it  became  necessary  for  that  plasm  life  within  to  build  again  an  entirely  new 
machine  body  that  was  capable  to  move  about  under  its  own  power,  with  the  abil- 
ity to  creep,  and  transfer  life  from  one  place  to  another  on  one  plant  and  by  im- 
proving it,  from  one  plant  to  another,  and  so  that  first  real  living  and  moving  life 
was  created  on  the  earth  outside  of  its  water,  in  which  all  life  developed  of  a 
similar  necessity.  We  know  that  the  human  race  did  improve  her  means  of  trans- 
portation from  a  slow,  creeping  body  to  a  fast  running  machine,  and  at  last  to  a 
flying  machine,  and  in  a  similar  manner  did  that  plasm  life  improve  her  machines 
and  did  build  the  first  flying  insects  for  speedy  transportation  among  that  plant 

To  picture  to  ourselves  the  possibility  of  the  further  development  or  improve- 
ment of  the  bodies  of  all  cellular  life,  we  again  must  compare  the  development  of 
the  from-us-humans-created  bodies  with  those  of  all  plant  and  animal  life  on  land, 
and  the  fish  in  water,  then  with  this  comparison  only  is  it  possible  for  us  to  un- 
derstand the  cause  and  purpose  for  the  existence  of  all  body-life  in  the  whole  uni- 
verse and  on  our  earth,  because  we  human  beings  are  only  the  best  invented  and 
improved  machine  body  with  which  that  ruling  plasm-life  is  creating  entirely  new 
and  powerful  real  living  bodies  on  our  earth,  from  an  entirely  new  material  than 
that  cellular  life.  W^e  know  that  the  human  race  as  a  whole  commenced  to  make 
the  simplest  tools  and  implements  out  of  wood  and  stone  to  build  the  first  hut  to 
protect  themselves.  But  with  all  our  ability  to  build  by  degrees  from  generation 
to  generation,  more  and  better  tools,  and  with  them  machines,  and  in  spite  of  our 
latest  invention,  a  ship  that  sails  and  is  directed  by  wireless  without  the  presence 
of  a  human  being  thereon,  and  with  all  our  flying  machines,  we  still  retain  as  the 
whole  human  race  all  the  simple  and  improved  tools  and  implements  and  most  of 
our  machinery  that  we  have  ever  made  and  manufactured.  By  saying  we  retain 
them  I  do  not  mean  that  we  have  put  everything  into  the  museum  for  keepsakes, 
but  I  mean  that  the  most  backward  human  beings  today  still  make  and  use  similar 
tools  and  implements  to  those  of  our  best  educated  ancestors  that  they  made  and 
used  ages  ago,  and  so  are  still  made  and  used  all  the  other  improved  tools  and  im- 
plements by  the  different  races  and  nations  according  to  their  degree  of  civiliza- 
tion, which  were  used  by  the  then  best  educated  people  hundreds  or  thousands  of 
years  ago.  We  as  the  human  race  have  to  retain  and  use  them,  because  they  are 
absolutely  necessary  for  us  to  live  and  for  the  evolution  or  advancement  of  the 
leading  people  in  our  race,  to  build  the  best  real  live  bodies,  and  in  a  similar  way 
are  all  the  plants  and  animals  from  the  lowest  to  the  best,  a  necessity  for  that 
creating  plasm  life  to  retain  and  use  them  in  an  improved  form,  to  live  and  to 
create  the  best,  most  advanced  bodies  of  the  human  race.  We  know  that  in  build- 
ing an  entirely  newly  invented  tool  or  machine,  we  first  have  to  use  a  model  to  try 
out  the  usefulness  and  the  working  ability  of  that  to-be-manufactured  body,  but 
after  we  have  accomplished  a  new  perfect  machine,  and  have  manufactured  a 
great  number  of  them,  we  destroy  the  few  imperfect  models  which  we  had  to  use 
in  changing  from  the  old  class  of  machinery  to  the  new  invention.  The  plasm  in 
our  cellular  life  undoubtedly  uses  similar  models  to  invent  and  build  an  entirely 
new  perfect  body,  and  after  their  accomplishment  why  should  not  they,  as  well, 
destroy  that  imperfect  so-called  missing  link  necessary  for  transition  from  one 
art  or  race  to  the  next?  To  understand  the  development  and  advancement  of  a 
certain  class  or  individuals  in  their  own  art  or  race,  we  must  compare  the  progress 
of  a  certain  race  or  nation  in  the  whole  human  race  with  all  single  bodies  in  plant 
and  animal  life,  because  each  individual  body  therein  is  a  nation  or  race  of  plasm- 
life  by  themselves.  We  must  go  back  again  to  the  fundamental  universal  body- 
law,  that  life  can  be  sustained  only  by  continued  and  everlasting  changes  from  one 
body  to  another,  and  that  each  independent  growing  body  can  grow  and  live  only 
for  a  certain  time,  and  must  then  decline,  because  each  body  can  perform  only  a 
certain  kind  of  work,  and  therefore  new  improved  bodies  must  be  created,  other- 
wise life  could  not  continue  and  our  so-called  civilization  could  not  advance. 

We  know  that  after  the  destruction  of  the  government  of  a  body  or  so-called 
death,  all  our  plants  and  animals  disintegrate  thereafter  into  different  parts,  and 
all  kinds  of  different  life,  some  die  naturally  and  decay  direct  into  that  smallest  and 
lowest  cellular  life,  the  microbes  in  the  earth.  Most  of  our  plants  get  ripe  before  they 
die,  or  are  cut  off,  and  leave  a  fruit  as  a  certain  unit  of  the  old  body;  many  are 
eaten  by  humans  and  animals  before  that  time,  and  are  used  as  a  united  material 
to  build  up  other  bodies,  and  at  last  animals  eat  one  another,  and  we  humans,  too, 
cut  them  to  pieces  with  which  to  build  up  our  own  body.  In  a  similar  way  the 
single  races  or  nations  decay  or  disintegrate,  as  far  as  we  know  the  history  of  the 

8 


human  race.  Our  history  tells  us  that  some  races  or  nations  grow  and  live  for  a 
long  or  short  time,  decline  and  break  up  in  small  single  units,  or  tribes,  and  others 
die  put  altogether.  We  also  know  that  some  nations  did  live  a  long,  successful 
life,  got  old  and  were  conquered  by  young  nations,  but  they  did  not  break  up  in 
single  tribes,  nor  did  they  die  out,  but  were  absorbed  in  provincial  units,  as  a 
material,  by  the  conquering  and  other  nations.  When  a  nation  breaks  up  in  single 
tribes,  and  after  a  long  time,  because  of  the  necessity  to  live  or  die,  the  descend- 
ants again  begin  to  unite,  they  can  only  build  in  the  beginning  a  small  and  back- 
ward state,  just  as  the  divided  individual  microbes  of  necessity  must  begin  to  build 
the  smallest  and  lowest  plants,  because  they  have  no  means  or  experience  to  build 
a  better  body.  But  when  the  descendants  of  a  former  great  nation,  out  of  a  small 
province  or  by  the  fruit  left  by  the  ripe  old  nation,  begin  again  to  build  a  new  and 
bigger  body,  or  in  other  words,  when  the  fruit  begins  to  sprout,  that  leading  human 
life  therein  is  enabled  to  use  all  the  experience  and  knowledge  of  the  most  pro- 
gressive nation,  because  they  did  not  divide  but  kept  a  unit;  therefore,  the  new 
growing  nation  sprouting  out  of  the  fruit  from  the  old  body,  must  and  will  progress 
much  farther  than  their  ancestors,  and  if  so  designed  becomes  the  leader  of  the 
human  race.  All  the  former  provinces  with  their  individual  life  therein  of  the  old 
nations  that  were  annexed  by  the  young  and  progressive  nations  hundreds  of  years 
ago,  could  not  progress  farther  as  a  part  in  the  worn  out  old  body,  and  they  had 
to  decay,  but  being  united  or  eaten  up  in  a  young  growing  body  they  progressed  in 
everything  as  a  part  of  the  young  nation  and  if  their  descendants  are  transferred 
again  to  a  young  body,  before  that  now  declining  nation  decays,  they  must  and 
will  progress  still  further,  and  with  them  the  new  reborn  nation.  We  therefore 
know  and  can  observe  that  the  evolution  and  progress  of  the  human  race  can  be 
accomplished  only  by  a  continued  transfer  of  an  advanced  progressing  people  from 
an  old,  declining  nation  to  a  young,  growing,  or  reborn  nation.  If  an  old  nation 
could  not  be  cut  in  pieces  before  it  decays,  no  new  nation  could  arise  and  grow; 
there  would  be  no  changes  of  one  body  to  another;  not  one  nation  could  continue 
to  grow  and  progress,  but  in  time  they  all  had  to  decline  and  the  whole  human  race 
would  decay  in  single  tribes  and  at  last  would  die  out.  If  we  now  compare  the 
fruit  or  descendants  of  an  old  decayed  nation  with  the  fruit  or  descendants  of  all 
old  and  decayed  plant  and  animal  bodies,  wherein  that  leading  plasm-life  has  more 
knowledge  and  ability  to  improve  their  germ  cells  and  to  build  and  lead  a  better 
body  than  their  ancestors,  and  further,  if  we  compare  the  continued  transfer  of 
an  already  developed  cellular  life  as  a  food  supply  from  one  body  to  another  with 
the  transfer  of  human  life  from  one  nation  to  another,  as  a  continued  progress  of 
that  plasm-life,  we  will  now  begin  to  understand  clearly  the  natural  development 
and  evolution  of  all  cellular  life  on  our  earth  body.  We  also  now  will  understand 
why  we  human  beings,  and  especially  the  most  progressive,  could  not  change  to 
live  on  and  build  up  our  bodies  with  the  lowest  and  fruitless  plants  without  de- 
clining in  strength  and  intelligence,  because  they  consist  of  a  low  plasm  and  cellu- 
lar life,  and  that  in  our  bodies  highest  plasm  in  that  whole  cellular  life,  could  not 
use  and  unite  with  them  without  degenerating  the  whole  body.  But  we  can  live 
on  the  fruits  of  the  plants  without  eating  the  flesh  of  animals,  because  in  the  fruit 
of  a  plant  is  preserved  the  best  and  highest  life,  and  therefore  can  be  used  and 
united  for  the  development  of  our  body.  After  we  have  learned  how  the  evolution 
of  life  is  accomplished,  we  must  ask  ourselves  in  what  manner  or  by  what  means 
are  all  the  minds  of  the  individuals  in  a  community  or  nation  controlled  to  make 
the  body  perform  a  certain  necessary  kind  of  work,  some  of  which  is  different 
altogether  from  all  other  work,  and  without  compensation  in  money,  or  without 
the  necessity  to  earn  money.  We  have  learned  that  all  cellular  life  is  built  by 
that  plasm-life  for  the  same  necessity  that  we  humans  build  all  our  material 
bodies,  therefore  each  human  being  is  controlled,  and  is  made  to  perform  a  certain 
necessary  kind  of  work  to  sustain  that  plasm  in  that  whole  cellular  life  just  as  we 
humans  control  all  our  machines  and  transportations  and  make  them  work.  We 
will  understand  best,  when  we  take  in  comparison  the  whole  fleet  of  a  ship's  com- 
pany, or  the  whole  battle  fleet  of  a  nation.  We  know  that  that  leading  human 
life  in  a  ship's  body  consists  of  a  great  variation  in  leadership  and  responsibility 
from  the  captain  down  to  the  cabin  boy,  and  that  the  captain  is  the  highest  author- 
ity or  the  leader  on  a  single  ship  as  long  as  it  is  out  on  the  high  seas.  If  a  ship 
is  a  so-called  tramp,  then  only  the  highest  leader,  the  captain,  knows  the  destina- 
tion of  his  ship  into  the  next  harbor,  and  does  not  know  what  kind  of  work  there- 
after that  body  he  is  leading  has  to  perform,  because  as  soon  as  he  brings  his  ship 
into  the  harbor  he  loses  his  first  leadership  of  that  body,  and  a  higher  authority 
the  agent  of  the  company,  decides  the  next  destination  and  the  further  work  of  his 

9 


ship.  The  agent  in  turn  gets  his  instructions  from  the  home  office,  and  by  this 
system  the  whole  fleet  of  xthe  company  is  controlled  and  led,  and  the  work  that 
each  ship  has  to  perform  is  not  decided  by  the  leader  of  that  ship,  but  through 
many  circumstances  by  necessity,  and  for  the  benefit  of  the  whole  company.  The 
officers  or  the  brain  of  a  ship,  in  their  leisure  time,  work  out  many  thoughts — 
what  the  whole  ship's  body  is  going  to  do  next.  Some  of  their  created  thoughts 
may  be  carried  out  by  that  ship,  but  others  will  remain  a  dream,  because  they 
only  have  a  partial  control  and  decision  over  the  future  of  that  ship's  body.  When 
the  first  commander  of  a  battle  fleet  gets  the  order  from  his  government  to  go 
against  the  enemy,  he  in  turn,  gives  his  orders  to  the  leading  admirals,  who  give 
their  orders  to  the  single  ships  in  their  fleets,  and  so  the  real  commander  of  a 
single  ship  has  only  a  partial  decision  over  his  ship's  body,  which  is  controlled 
from  above  downward  by  many  other  bodies.  The  brain,  or  the  captain  with  his 
highest  officers,  may  work  out  many  thoughts  and  decisions  for  that  ship  to  carry 
out,  but  at  once  they  get  an  order  from  the  admiral  to  perform  a  certain  action 
with  their  ships  that  nobody  considered  and  never  thought  of  before,  but  without 
consideration  for  the  life  of  the  whole  ship  they  have  to  carry  out  this  order, 
whether  their  ship  goes  down  or  not.  When  we  compare  our  individual  bodies 
with  a  single  ship,  wherein  that  whole  plasm-life  or  the  whole  crew,  has  to  per- 
form a  certain  kind  of  work  to  keep  the  whole  body  going,  and  that  that  individual 
life  therein  differs  in  intelligence  and  authority  in  the  same  manner  as  between 
that  human  life  or  the  crew  of  a  ship,  we  will  begin  to  understand  the  leadership 
of  our  bodies.  When  we  further  compare  the  creation  of  our  thoughts,  and  our 
determination  to  do  a  certain  kind  of  work  tomorrow,  but  when  the  time  arrives 
we  have  to  perform  a  wholly  different  work  that  we  never  thought  to  do,  with  the 
creation  of  these  thoughts  of  a  single  battleship,  and  the  suddenly  received  order 
to  act  otherwise,  we  will  understand  why  we  cannot  always  do  what  we  thought 
and  wanted  to  do,  and  why  we  changed  our  minds,  and  were  prevented  by  other 
circumstances. 

We  know  that  an  admiral  or  a  commander  from  a  certain  unit  sometimes 
changes  his  flag  and  himself  with  his  staff  from  one  ship  to  another,  and  so  it  is 
not  a  certain  ship's  body  that  always  retains  the  highest  authority  and  the  leader- 
ship in  a  fleet,  but  it  is  that  highest  individual  human  life  that  lives  in,  and  leads 
that  body,  and  therefore  we  undoubtedly  must  presume  that  that  highest  plasm-life 
in  the  human  bodies  of  a  community  or  nation,  has  the  same  ability  to  go  from 
one  body  to  another,  and  by  a  personal  change  of  government  take  possession  of 
the  newly  selected  human  body  which  they  lead,  and  from  which  they  send  out 
orders  to  other  bodies.  But  they  only  have  a  partial  control  over  that  body,  like 
the  leaders  of  all  other  human  bodies,  because  they,  too,  are  subjected  to  a  still 
higher  authority  in  plasm-life,  and  have  to  take  orders.  This  is  the  partial  influ- 
ence and  leadership  of  our  human  bodies  from  above  or  from  a  higher  authority, 
but  at  the  same  time  we  know  that  all  governments  and  leaders  are  partly  sub- 
ject, too,  to  an  influence  and  submission  from  below,  i.e.,  from  the  governed,  and 
therefore  our  minds  and  the  action  of  our  bodies  is  partly  controlled,  too,  by  that 
whole  plasm-life  in  our  bodies.  In  a  similar  manner  from  above  and  below  that 
whole  body-life  in  the  universe  is  led  and  controlled. 

Now  we  are  coming  to  the  all-important  question:  Is  there  an  everlasting  life 
for  that  highest  life  in  our  body,  or  for  our  so-called  soul,  and  where  is  that  heaven 
our  soul  or  our  spirit  dreams  to  go  to?  As  long  as  we  cannot  identify  any  single 
bodies  in  the  mass  of  that  plasm-life,  it  is  impossible  for  us  to  know  whether  that 
individual  life  lives  for  one  moment  only,  or  for  a  long  time,  but  undoubtedly  it 
must  continually  change  its  form,  like  all  other  bigger  material  bodies,  and  there- 
fore that  highest  plasm  of  the  human  body  in  our  brain  cannot  continue  to  live 
forever  without  changing  its  form.  We  must  presume,  however,  that  some  of 
that  plasm-life,  especially  by  a  sudden  death  of  a  body,  is  capable,  and  attempts 
to  leave  it  in  a  cell  or  in  a  germ,  as  we  human  beings  use  a  life-boat  to  save  our- 
selves from  a  sinking  ship.  It  cannot  live  in  the  air  without  a  body,  like  we 
humans  could  not  live  in  water  without  a  boat.  We  do  not  want  to  consider 
whether  or  not  that  possibly-escaped  single  plasm-life  of  that  human  ship  that 
went  down,  can  shortly  thereafter  enter  another  human  brain,  and  so  help  to 
create  a  thought  of  a  message  from  that  dead  body,  but  undoubtedly  it  cannot  live 
forever,  it  must  change  and  again  unite  with  another  body.  If  there  is  no  heaven 
where  our  so-called  spiritual  unit  can  go  and  live  happy  forever,  then  why  does 
our  brain  create  such  thoughts?  We  know  how  every  human  being  and  especially 
in  his  young  days,  is  dreaming  of  riches,  leisure,  success,  and  adventure,  and 
everyone  speaks  and  hopes  of  a  better  day  to  come  for  his  own  body.  Every  one 

10 


of  us  has  a  desire  to  go  to  a  better  place,  where  we  need  not  work  so  hard,  and 
live  more  in  luxury,  and  therefore  we  seek  and  hope  to  find  this  happiness  in  the 
big  cities,  and  cannot  suppress  our  desire  to  go  to  this  hoped-for  heaven.  The 
young  man  is  dreaming  of  success  and  power  to  rule  and  to  govern  others,  and 
therefore  has  a  desire  to  go  to  the  capital  city  of  the  nation,  and  to  enter  the  seat 
of  government,  or  to  be  presented  to  royalty,  and  so  he  hopes  to  get  into  heaven. 
Undoubtedly  that  individual  plasm-life  in  our  brain  has  the  same  hope  and  desire 
to  go  to  a  better  and  bigger  city  of  life,  where  there  is  more  leisure,  joy  and  hap- 
piness, and  they,  too,  cannot  suppress  the  desire  and  hope  to  enter  the  capital  city 
of  the  whole  universe,  and  be  presented  to  that  highest  government  on  God's 
throne,  or  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  If  we  now  compare  the  desire  and  hope 
of  every  human  being  with  that  of  that  plasm-life  in  our  brain,  then  will  we  under- 
stand the  creation  of  the  thoughts  and  belief  of  a  happy  everlasting  life,  by  that 
individual  plasm. 

After  we  have  learned  by  what  system  all  individual  life  on  our  earth  is  built 
up  and  controlled,  we  now  must  ask  ourselves  what  material,  real  big,  live  bodies 
have  a  partial  control  over  our  earth  body,  and  therefore  over  the  destiny  of  all 
cellular  life  thereon,  including  the  whole  human  race?  We  must  now  recognize 
the  fact  that  each  individual  body  and  each  single  unit  therein  must  have  a  law, 
a  government  or  brain  by  themselves,  otherwise  it  would  be  impossible,  for  in- 
stance, to  rebuild  a  fingernail  again  and  again  into  the  former  shape,  no  matter 
how  often,  and  in  what  crooked  shape  we  cut  the  nail,  therefore  our  earth  body, 
our  moon,  sun,  and  all  other  bodies  in  the  whole  universe,  must  have  a  law  by 
themselves,  a  government  and  brain,  to  live  and  to  rule  that  individual  life  therein. 
We  know  that  each  living  body  has  some  means,  perhaps  a  limb,  to  control  partly 
his  outside  life  or  clothing,  therefore  we  must  recognize  the  storm,  flood,  and  earth- 
quake as  the  weapons  with  which  the  earth  body  is  capable  of  destroying  and  con- 
trolling partly  her  outside  life  necessary  for  her  to  live.  We  know,  too,  that  each 
mother  leads  and  protects  her  children,  and  as  our  earth  undoubtedly  is  an  off- 
spring of  our  sun,  and  our  moon  again  an  offspring  of  the  earth,  therefore  those 
three  bodies  form  a  family  unit,  and  are  dependent  on  each  other  for  their  own 
welfare,  and  so  are  bound  to  protect  one  another  from  a  destructive  outside  life. 
When  the  insects  on  our  domestic  plants  and  animals  increase  in  such  proportion 
that  they  suffer  in  health,  we  human  beings  destroy  the  insects  thereon,  but  not 
out  of  pity  for  the  plants  and  animals,  but  for  our  own  benefit,  because  we  need 
their  healthy  bodies  as  food.  Every  human  being  knows  and  can  see  and  feel  that 
our  sun  controls  and  governs  to  a  certain  limit  our  earth,  with  all  life  thereon, 
and  undoubtedly  our  moon,  too,  has  some  influence  on  all  plant  and  animal  life. 
Therefore  our  sun  is  undeniably  the  next  highest  government  over  all  life  on  our 
earth,  and  no  thinking  person  can  deny  this  fact.  We  humans  like  to  pray  to,  and 
fear  some  mysterious  all-powerful  God  that  seems  to  be  everywhere  and  nowhere, 
but  we  shut  our  eyes  and  do  not  want  to  see  and  feel  that  that  life  in  the  sun  is 
our  real  ruling  power,  that  decides  to  a  certain  extent  our  existence  and  destiny 
because  that  would  solve  a  great  deal  of  the  mystery  of  God.  If  your  preachers 
had  to  explain  facts  instead  of  saying  always  the  same  old  empty  phrases  about 
God,  they  and  we  would  have  to  think  but  we  do  not  want  to.  We  know  that  the 
great  human  mass  in  a  big  city  produces  no  food  for  themselves,  and  therefore  the 
surrounding  towns  out  in  the  country  must  supply  them  with  the  means  to  live, 
but  we  know,  too,  that  the  big  city  cannot  continue  to  draw  food  from  the  country 
towns  without  giving  to  them  manufactured  goods  in  return,  and  therefore  we  can 
see  going  out  of  the  big  city  in  all  directions  to  the  country,  trains,  ships,  autos, 
and  other  means  of  transportation  and  communication.  This  outgoing  and  incom- 
ing moving  life  between  the  big  city  and  a  big  town  out  in  the  country  produces 
friction,  and  therefore  warmth  and  light.  Science  teaches  us  that  the  rain  in  the 
clouds  is  formed  out  of  the  moisture  or  so-called  vapor  of  the  earth,  that  is  with- 
drawn from  one  place  and  deposited  on  another,  but  if  they  have  to  admit  that 
the  sun,  or  that  life  in  the  race  of  the  sun,  withdraws  moisture  out  of  all  life  on 
the  earth's  surface,  then  they  have  to  admit,  too,  that  this  life  must  have  a  reason, 
a  purpose,  and  a  necessity  for  doing  so.  If  life  is  withdrawn  from  our  earth  on 
one  place  and  deposited  on  another,  then  there  must  undoubtedly  exist  a  real  life 
in  the  so-called  atmosphere  surrounding  our  earth  that  causes  and  supervises  this 
work  and  action,  otherwise  our  whole  cellular  life  could  not  exist  as  a  unit  without 
the  presence,  not  of  an  imaginary  nothingness,  but  of  a  real  material  life,  to  carry 
out  and  to  enforce  our  so-called  natural  law.  With  all  our  present  knowledge  of 
the  cause  and  a  purpose  for  everything,  and  with  our  use  of  that  powerful  life  by 
us  unseen — electricity — to  give  real  life  and  action  to  a  body  without  the  presence 

11 


of  a  human  being,  we  now  should  realize  that  in  or  behind  the  action  of  our  so- 
called  atmosphere  there  must  exist,  too,  a  real  material  body-life  that  has  a  so- 
called  brain  with  which  to  think,  and  therefore  we  must  identify  our  powerful  sun, 
not  as  an  imaginary  gaseous  mass  formation,  but  as  a  mighty,  real,  live  body,  with 
a  mind  great  and  powerful  enough  to  lead  and  rule  our  so-called  solar  system.  If 
we  now  compare  the  big,  mighty  capital  city  of  life  in  our  solar  system  (the  sun), 
with  the  big  capital  city  of  a  nation,  where  the  great  mass  of  plasm-life  has  to 
draw  its  subsistence  out  of  that,  her  surrounding  life  in  space  and  from  the  plan- 
ets, or  towns,  and  bring  back  to  them  in  exchange  another  life,  we  will  begin  to 
understand  the  atmospheric  condition  surrounding  our  earth.  Science  explains 
the  change  in  our  weather  conditions  with  a  thin  and  a  thick  atmosphere  that 
moves  above  the  earth's  surface  from  one  place  to  another,  and  some  of  them  try 
to  forecast  rainy  weather  by  the  so-called  sun-spots  but  they  fail  to  explain  the 
cause  of  this  great  variation  of  the  atmosphere,  in  an  hour  or  in  a  day  on  the 
same  place,  and  the  great  difference  of  life  that  undoubtedly  must  exist  in  these 
changed  conditions  of  the  air.  When  the  army  of  a  nation  suddenly  invades  an- 
other country,  they  do  not  meet  a  strong  resistance  on  the  highway,  or  in  the  open 
towns,  but  when  they  come  near  a  strong  fortification  a  terrific  fight  begins  be- 
tween the  invading  and  defensive  army,  and  this  fight  causes  friction,  light  and 
heat.  When  the  attacking  army  concentrates  her  main  force  in  one  day  on  a  single 
fortress  only,  then  a  great  fight  takes  place  and  consequently  heat,  while  in  the 
other  places  there  is  not  a  great  fight,  and  therefore  only  warmth.  After  the  in- 
vading army  has  taken  the  outside  forts  of  the  fortified  city,  if  they  can  penetrate 
no  further  they  take  away  all  their  prisoners  and  other  booty,  or  all  conquered 
life,  and  bring  them  back  to  their  own  country.  In  a  similar  manner  as  the  invad- 
ing army,  that  life  in  the  race  from  the  sun  fights  that  defensive  life  above  and 
on  the  earth,  conquers  the  defender  in  the  air  and  a  part  of  that  cellular  life  on 
the  earth,  takes  it  way  and  absorbs  it  for  their  sustenance;  therefore  by  a  great 
heat  we  have  a  so-called  thick  atmosphere  that  means  that  the  air  is  full  of  life — 
a  terrific  fight  between  that  attacking  and  defending  life  occurs,  which  causes  fric- 
tion and  heat.  In  a  forest  or  in  a  place  where  there  are  many  growing  plants,  the 
great  army  of  cellular  life  defends  and  protects  the  soil  of  the  earth,  and  repulses 
that  attacking  solar  life,  therefore  underneath  or  in  the  shade  of  a  tree  it  is  cool 
while  on  the  desert  there  is  no  protecting  plant  life  and  that  solar  life  attacks 
the  bare  solid  sand  and  causes  this  great  heat.  Every  child  can  see  and  feel  that 
our  sun  withdraws  life  from  the  earth,  because  all  cellular  life  is  weak  in  a  great 
heat,  but  we  explain  this  with  the  simple  words  only,  everything  is  dried  out. 

WTe  know  and  can  see  and  feel  that  when  we  get  a  thunder  storm  on  a  hot 
day,  and  consequently  rain,  that  the  whole  cellular  life  on  our  earth  feel  refreshed 
with  new  life,  but  where  did  that  new  life  come  from?  It  certainly  has  not  been 
in  the  so-called  vapor  that  went  up  from  the  earth,  but  it  was  formed  or  created 
in  the  clouds  away  from  the  earth's  surface.  A  new  life  cannot  be  created  out  of 
the  same  old  material  without  adding  or  being  united  with  other  substance.  We 
therefore,  undoubtedly  must  conclude  that  that  new  life  in  the  rain  comes  from 
the  sun,  is  created  therein,  and  brought  down  with  the  rain  to  that  cellular  life 
as  manufactured  tools  and  implements  wherewith  to  build  more  cellular  life,  in 
exchange  for  the  withdrawing  by  the  sun  of  that  necessary  for  her  life  from  the 
earth,  like  the  big  city  is  withdrawing  food  from  the  country  and  giving  manufac- 
tured goods  in  return.  We  say  that  the  sunshine  makes  our  plants  grow,  which 
is  true,  but  we  must  presume  that  the  direct  rays  of  the  sun  bring  no  new  life  to 
the  plants,  but  cause  them  to  build  quicker  a  bigger  body  of  cellular  life  for  defense 
from  the  sun's  rays. 

After  the  acknowledgment  that  during  or  before  a  continued  rain  the  sun  has 
to  release  life  to  bring  down  to  the  earth  with  the  rain,  it  is  reasonable  to  believe 
that  the  so-called  sun-spots  show  the  place  where  this  life  was  taken  away,  just 
as  if  a  great  mass  of  manufactured  goods,  with  the  necessary  means  for  trans- 
portation, and  human  life,  were  assembled  on  the  outskirts  of  a  big  city,  and  after 
they  leave  there  is  an  empty  place  which  does  not  show  much  life:  friction  and 
light. 

We  know  that  all  human  life  in  a  nation  has  some  influence,  more  or  less, 
with  that  central  government,  and  is  represented  therein  accordingly,  and  after 
the  recognition  of  our  sun  as  our  next  ruling  power  besides  and  above  our  own 
mother  earth,  we  must  consider  and  believe  that  that  plasm-life  in  our  whole 
cellular  life  is  represented,  too,  on  that  higher  government  in  the  sun,  and  there- 
fore has  an  influence  on  the  decisions  over  future  and  destiny.  As  the  sun,  with 
our  whole  solar  system,  is  in  turn  governed  by  a  still  higher  power,  so  are  their 

12 


decisions  not  final.  On  which  suitor  J^igiht^  body}  JHfatvJniv&rsal  government  or 
brain  is  located,  we  cannot  know, 'out  that*  ft  'must  'exfst,'  with  a  presiding  being 
or  God,  there  can  be  no  doubt,  but  it  is  useless  to  appeal  directly  to  that  highest 
being  for  our  own  personal  welfare,  when  there  are  uncountable  other  govern- 
ments between  us,  and  necessity  demands  otherwise. 

We  know  that  all  individual  life  in  a  race  or  art  has  to  change  continually  but 
we  know,  too,  that  in  time  a  race  or  art  has  to  change  as  a  whofe  after  they  have 
served  their  purpose.  We  are  created  by  that  plasm-life  to  build  with  us,  as  a 
machine  body,  from  an  entirely  different  material  than  that  cellular  life,  more 
powerful  real  living  bodies,  and  as  we  have  advanced  already  so  far  in  building 
of  new  life,  that  out  from  the  creeping  and  fast  running  bodies  we  made  them 
already  flying  away  from  the  earth's  surface,  and  give  them  life,  action,  and  direc- 
tion without  the  presence  thereon  of  human  life,  it  is  possible  that  in  the  near 
future  we  will  have  to  invent  a  real  brain  to  install  in  those  bodies  so  that  they 
will  be  capable  of  thinking,  acting,  and  leading  themselves  without  the  direction 
of  any  human  life.  Should  this  time  soon  arrive  and  our  earth's  body  begins  to 
decline,  instead  of  growing,  and  therefore  begins  to  cease  in  her  attraction  of 
life,  it  is  possible  that  this  newly  created  big  flying  life  on  the  earth  will  be  capa- 
ble to  go  behind  her  attraction  and  transfer  life  to  another  planet,  perhaps  to  the 
young  moon,  like  the  flying  insects  and  birds  transfer  life  from  one  body  to  an- 
other. We,  the  human  race,  will  then  have  fulfilled  our  life  purpose,  and  will  de- 
cline and  at  last  die  out,  and  with  us,  perhaps,  all  cellular  life  on  our  earth,  but 
in  any  case  we  cannot  expect  to  live  hundreds  of  thousands  of  years  longer  with- 
out changing  our  form  entirely. 

After  this  enlightenment  it  is  useless  to  say  anything  more  about  the  so-called 
gravitation,  attraction,  and  repulsion,  because  everything  is  explained  already,  and 
now  everybody  can  understand  it. 

What  is  truth?  Every  human  being  feels  insulted  when  another  person  calls 
him  a  liar,  but  at  the  same  time  he  knows  and  is  convinced  of  the  fact  that  he 
speaks  many  words  which  he  knows  are  not  the  truth  or  real  facts,  and  therefore 
everyone  of  us,  without  exception,  is  a  so-called  liar,  and  trying  to  feel  insulted 
we  only  lie  again.  Besides  this  realization  of  the  untruth,  every  human  being  is 
convinced  of  his  created  thoughts  as  the  undeniable  truth,  and  therefore  he  is 
trying  with  all  means  to  convert  other  people  to  what  he  believes  is  true.  In  the 
same  manner  as  the  individual,  each  family,  each  community,  nation,  or  race, 
creates  special  thoughts,  and  therefore  have  a  particular  acknowledged  truth  of 
their  own.  Each  single  unit  of  them  will  defend  their  created  thoughts  as  the  un- 
deniable truth,  and  denounce  everything  that  does  not  agree  with  their  thoughts 
as  a  falsehood  and  a  lie,  notwithstanding  that  there  are  other  peoples  which  are 
convinced  of  their  own  truth,  and  denounce  these  very  thoughts  as  a  lie  and  a 
falsehood.  Therefore,  each  person,  each  family,  each  community,  nation  or  race 
has  her  own  truth  about  right,  justice  or  injustice,  and  recognize  everything  that 
is  in  their  favor  as  just,  and  everything  that  is  against  their  interests  as  unjust. 
We  know  that  each  person,  family  or  nation  has  a  secret  thought  or  truth  pecu- 
liar to  themselves,  which  they  dare  not  speak  out,  because  it  would  endanger  this 
very  body.  Therefore  in  a  family  the  parents  keep,  or  try  to  keep  this  secret  to 
themselves,  because  if  all  the  children  know  about  it  there  would  be  danger  that 
they  might  speak  it  out  before  other  persons,  and  so  the  parents  have  to  lie  or 
suppress  the  truth  to  their  own  children.  So  it  is  with  a  nation.  Each  nation  has 
a  secret  by  itself,  but  it  only  must  be  known  by  a  few  members  of  the  highest 
government,  because  if  many  people  in  the  country  know  about  this  secret,  they 
will  speak  it  out  or  publish  it,  and  so  endanger  the  whole  nation.  Therefore  the 
government  has  to  suppress  the  truth  and  lie  to  their  own  people.  We  know  that 
every  human  being  has  many  secrets  to  himself  about  the  deeds  of  his  own  body, 
and  what  he  knows  about  other  people,  therefore  that  highest  plasm-life  or  the 
government  of  the  whole  body  in  our  brain,  only  knows  about  these  secrets,  and 
has  to  suppress  this  truth,  because  if  that  plasm-life  in  the  organs  of  our  voice 
would  know  them,  we  would  speak  them  out  and  so  endanger  the  whole  body. 
With  this  illustration  we  can  see  that  it  is  absolutely  necessary  for  the  government 
of  each  body  to  suppress  or  withhold  to  a  certain  extent  the  truth  of  their  indi- 
vidual life  therein,  for  the  protection  of  the  whole  body,  and  therefore  the  so- 
called  truth  turns  into  a  necessity.  Though  we  know  that  there  is  no  limit  in  the 
creation  of  truths  or  untruths,  yet  we  must  have  a  certain  standard  of  truth,  to 
make  laws,  to  enforce  them  and  to  govern  ourselves.  In  the  past  and  up  to  our 
present  time,  we  recognized  our  so-called  five  senses  as  the  foundation  of  all  our 
truths,  but  when  already  a  great  number  of  human  beings  deny  the  existence  of 

13 


the  body  and  therefore  dini/  five  senses',  in  defiance  of  the  fact  that  they  teach 
this  truth  with  their  mateflarbo'dies  and  could  not  exist  otherwise,  then  the  time 
has  arrived  and  it  becomes  absolutely  necessary  to  build  an  entirely  new  founda- 
tion for  a  standard  of  our  truths.  We  must  recognize  the  fact  that  all  teachings, 
no  matter  how  senseless  they  may  appear  to  an  individual,  are  absolutely  neces- 
sary for  the  development  of  the  human  race,  because  they  make  their  believers 
happy  and  contented  and  help  them  to  carry  the  burdens  of  life,  but  with  each 
stage  of  development  it  is  necessary  for  the  human  race  to  adopt  new  teachings. 
Is  there  a  lasting  so-called  scientific  truth?  We  know  that  as  long  as  the 
human  race  has  existed,  there  have  been  different  conceptions  of  God,  and  there- 
fore their  religions  have  changed  from  time  to  time  through  necessity,  and  we 
know,  too,  that  with  each  change,  our  so-called  scientific  truth  has  changed  by 
degrees  from  one  acknowledged  truth  to  another,  necessary  at  certain  stages  of 
development  of  the  human  race.  All  teachers  of  a  new  thought  or  of  a  new  truth 
have  had  to  fight  for  the  recognition  of  their  teaching.  They  were  denounced  as 
impostors,  were  put  in  jail  and  tortured,  and  many  of  them  had  to  die  because  the 
teachers  of  the  then  established  truth  did  not  want  to  be  considered  as  unwise 
and  ignorant,  and  therefore  they  fought  with  all  their  might  to  suppress  and  kill 
the  new  thought.  The  feeling  of  our  wounded  pride  in  wisdom  has  not  changed 
since,  and  therefore  we  must  expect  the  greatest  resistance  against  the  spreading 
of  this  entirely  new  created  thought.  Notwithstanding  all  suppression  it  will  and 
must  be  recognized  in  the  future  by  a  certain  number  of  human  beings  as  the  es- 
tablished necessary  truth,  though  it  never  can  be  adopted,  like  all  other  teachings 
as  the  only  truth  by  the  whole  human  race,  because  it  would  create  a  certain 
equality  of  thoughts  and  action,  and  so  would  lessen  the  strife  and  struggle  among 
them,  which  never  can  be. 

It  is  a  general  belief  that  a  so-called  uneducated  person  without  at  least  a 
college  education,  never  can  be  capable  of  thinking  and  making  entirely  new  scien- 
tific laws  by  himself,  when  all  our  recognized  best  learned  and  educated  men  are 
unable  to  do  so  with  the  aid  of  all  their  scientific  instruments,  and  therefore  no- 
body will  listen  or  pay  any  attention  to  his  arguments  no  matter  how  sensible  and 
convincing  they  may  appear,  because  he  is  not  known  and  recognized  as  some- 
body or  as  an  authority  to  speak  on  such  subjects,  and  therefore  can  not  know 
anything  about  it.  We  know  that  each  human  being  can  perform  only  one  kind 
of  work  at  the  same  time,  and  if  we  perform  hard  and  dangerous  physical  work 
of  the  body,  all  our  thoughts  must  be  concentrated  on  this  work,  and  our  brain 
cannot  at  the  same  time  create  other  thoughts  without  endangering  the  whole  body 
and  therefore  by  a  light  and  dangerless  work  only  can  our  brain  afford  to  work 
out  other  or  new  thoughts.  When  our  learned  professors  and  scientific  men  are 
reading  and  studying  books  that  were  written  by  other  men,  and  when  they  force 
their  brains  to  absorb,  to  keep,  and  to  repeat  these  already  worked  out  thoughts 
again  and  again,  so  has  that  plasm-life  therein,  not  the  time  and  the  ability  to 
work  out  a  new  thought  entirely  by  themselves,  and  therefore  all  that  they  are 
able  to  do  is  to  improve  this  mass  of  accumulated  thoughts  on  the  old,  but  without 
a  new  foundation. 

By  putting  a  small  piece  of  glass  about  the  size  of  a  pinhead  on  a  black  back- 
ground or  a  shining  metal,  like  the  'bend  in  the  frame  of  a  spectacle,  and  holding 
it  near  our  eyes  in  the  right  position  so  that  the  light  of  the  sun  or  of  a  lamp  will 
strike  it  from  the  side,  and  by  looking  closely  we  can  observe  in  the  reflection  of 
the  pupil  in  our  eyes  small  round  white  particles  with  a  blue  surrounding  that 
move  about  or  float  therein.  Now  it  does  not  matter  by  what  name  the  scientists 
call  these  white  particles,  and  out  of  what  substance  they  are  made,  the  only  fact 
that  matters  is  that  they  contain  plasm-life  inside  of  them,  which  is  that  real  lead- 
ing life  in  our  eyes,  the  look-outs  and  the  operators.  When  the  seamen  on  the 
look-outs  at  the  front  and  on  the  mast  of  a  ship,  continually  cry  out  reports  to  the 
captain  or  officer  on  the  bridge  of  what  they  see  in  front  of  the  ship,  the  officer  is 
occupied  with  the  observation  and  verification  of  these  reports  and  has  no  time  to 
look  for  and  think  on  anything  else  by  himself.  The  brain  of  the  scientist  that 
uses  a  telescope  or  a  microscope  for  his  observations  is  in  a  similar  position  to 
that  of  the  leading  officer  on  the  bridge  of  a  ship,  because  that  leading  plasm-life 
in  his  brain  is  occupied  with  the  reports  of  that  plasm  in  the  white  particles  of  his 
eyes,  or  the  look-outs  of  his  human  ship,  and  therefore  his  brain  can  know  and 
verify  only  the  reports  of  his  eyes  but  cannot  see  and  think  of  anything  else  by 
itself.  These  recognized  scientists  have  perhaps  a  family  and  have  a  certain  obli- 
gation to  so-called  society,  and  therefore  as  soon  as  their  brains  receive  no  more 
reports  from  their  eyes,  they  have  to  work  out  other  thoughts  which  have  no  con- 

14 


nection  with  the  received  reports  and  30  .they;  arc?  .utilftile:  ^investigate  them  to 
find  out  a  new  truth.  With  these  uhdeui-able.  fads'-  before;  rfs  ;that  each  human  body 
is  selected  for,  and  can  perform  only  one  kind  of  work  at  the  same  time,  we  are 
compelled  to  admit  that  any  human  being  with  an  occupation  in  which  he  has  to 
use  his  brains  as  well  as  his  body,  cannot  and  never  will  be  capable  to  work  out 
in  his  brain  on  a  new  foundation  an  entirely  new  thought  by  himself,  whether  he 
is  recognized  as  the  most  learned  man,  as  a  successful  business  man,  or  a  success 
in  any  other  occupation.  It  is  only  possible  for  a  man  to  do  so  when  that  highest 
plasm-life  in  his  'brain  is  entirely  free  from  any  obligation  to  work  out  other 
thoughts  for  the  body,  and  is  not  disturbed  by  the  presence  of  other  persons  to 
answer  questions;  when  he  only  lives  with  and  by  himself,  renounces  everything 
that  could  disturb  his  thoughts;  is  unknown;  has  no  obligation  to  other  persons, 
and  therefore  is  not  recognized  as  somebody  by  other  people. 

This  little  book  is  written  by  a  so-called  uneducated  man  that  never  did  write 
more  than  a  plain  letter  and  did  not  learn  to  speak  and  write  the  English  language 
in  a  school;  who  lived  for  eight  years  for  and  by  himself  on  a  ranch  with  his 
chickens,  and  so  commenced  to  think  about  the  universe  and  all  life  within.  For 
the  last  two  years  he  had  no  occupation  whatever,  and  therefore  his  brain  was 
free  and  had  the  time  to  work  out  by  degrees,  day  and  night,  this  new  truth. 

It  is  only  an  announcement  of  a  few  thoughts  in  the  plainest  picked-up  English 
words  of  what  I  am  thinking,  and  how  I  can  explain  the  only  possible  solution  of 
the  origin  and  development  of  all  body-life  in  the  universe.    When  I  observed  in 
the  spring  time  how  the  young  plants  came  up  and  commenced  growing  close  to 
one  another  of  the  same  size,  and  how  in  a  short  time  the  strongest  plants  grew 
bigger,  all  in  different  sizes  and  shapes,  while  the  weaker  ones  declined,  were 
killed  off  as  independent  growing  bodies  and  their  individual  life  absorbed  by  the 
bigger  growing  plants,  because  there  was  no  room  for  all  to  grow,  I  commenced 
to  think  about  the  inequality  and  the  struggle  of  life.    Then  up  to  this  time  I,  too, 
believed  in  a  certain  equality,  in  peace,  and  in  the  brotherhood  of  man.     I  could 
observe  best  the  struggle  among  the  young  willows,  how  the  big  and  strong  trees 
overgrew  and  entirely  covered  the  weak  and  small  ones.     Year  after  year  more 
of  them  had  to  die  and  disappeared  without  being  cut  off,  and  after  years,  only 
a  few  big  trees  remained  standing  in  the  same  place  where  there  were  in  the  be- 
ginning of  this  struggle  a  great  number  of  small  young  trees.    I  observed  the  fish 
swimming  in  the  water,  how  their  solid  material  bodies  move  about  through  that 
free  and  floating  life  therein  without  losing  their  balance  or  gravitation  and  falling 
to  the  bottom  on  the  earth.    Row  these  fish  can  see  through  that  water  and  iden- 
tify only  the  solid,  conquered  big  mass  of  life  as  a  body,    but    cannot    see    and 
recognize  that  water  wherein  they  live  and  move  about  as  a  compact  united  body- 
life.    So  I  began  to  reason  and  to  think,  when  that  solid  round  body  of  a  fish  can 
move  freely  through  that  floating  life  in  that  water  without  much  obstruction,  and 
when  that  small  life  that  lives  outside  on  this  only  one  fish-body  cannot  identify 
that  round  globe  which  they  live  on,  as  a  real  living  body,  then  why  should  our 
so-called  empty  space  not  consist  of  a  similar  small,  free,  floating  life  like  that 
from  which  the  body  of  our  water  is  formed  and  through  which  we  can  see  and 
why  should  our  earth  not  be  a  similar  living  body  (like  that  fish)  which  moves 
through  that  floating  life  in  space,  and  so  keeps  her  so-called  gravitation?    When 
that  small  life  which  lives  only  on  one  fish  and  cannot  fall  off  or  get  away  from 
that  body  imagines  or  believes  that  all  other  big  solid  moving  bodies  which  they 
see  floating  in  that  water  are  nothing  else  than  a  big  mass  formation  without  real 
life,  then  they  are  not  more  ignorant  about  life  than  we  human  beings  when  we 
imagine  and  believe  that  the  so-called  suns  and  stars  floating  in  space  are  nothing 
else  than  a  big  mass  of  a  certain  substance  only,  without  real  life  and  without  a 
government  or  brain  therein. 

Why  should  the  creeping  insects  which  only  live  on  one  plant  or  on  one  ani- 
mal body,  not  imagine  themselves  to  be  that  highest  and  that  only  life  in  the  whole 
universe  that  is  capable  of  thinking,  because  they,  too,  like  we  humans  on  the 
earth,  are  that  most  advanced  and  ruling  life  on  that  body  they  live  on,  and  cannot 
identify  it  as  a  real  living  body,  nor  all  the  other  plants  or  animal  bodies  in  their 
surroundings.  When  I  looked  at  night  at  the  so-called  stars,  how  those  big  bodies 
remain  in  a  certain  position  and  I  observed  how  the  small  units  of  an  already  con- 
quered life  (the  so-called  meteors),  continually  fall  on  the  earth,  I  came  to  the  con- 
clusion that  all  this  attracted  substance  can  have  no  other  meaning  and  must  be 
a  part  of  the  food  supply  for  our  earth's  body,  and  that  only  that  free  and  small 
life  can  move  through  the  whole  universe,  while  the  bigger  bodies  have  to  remain 
in  a  limited  space  or  orbit,  like  all  the  big  bodies  in  a  nation,  or  those  in  our  own 
human  body.

We  humans  ar? -pi-Hying  to  God  for  cmr  own  welfare,  for  everlasting  peace, 
and  prosperity,  and  so  boast  with  our  goodness  and  so-called  humanity,  but  in 
reality  it  is  nothing  else  than  ignorance  and  selfishness,  because  at  the  same  time 
we  must  be  convinced  of  the  fact  that  to  live  well  and  in  luxury,  we  must  destroy 
daily  uncountable  single,  independent  live  bodies  for  our  food,  clothing,  houses, 
machines,  and  other  necessities.  Are  all  those  killed  off  bodies  not  entitled,  too, 
to  cry  for  peace,  for  justice,  and  an  everlasting  life,  like  we  human  beings?  How 
is  it  possible  for  us  to  believe  we  can  continually  destroy  and  draw  life  out  of  the 
earth's  body  for  our  own  selfish  welfare  without  putting  back  again  our  own 
bodies  to  help  with  them  creating  again  this  very  life?  Can  we  not  see  with  our 
own  eyes  that  too  many  insects  on  the  plant  and  animal  bodies  at  last  kill  and 
destroy  that  very  body  which  they  live  on,  and  so  destroy  themselves  entirely? 
When  the  two  oldest,  full-grown,  and  strongest  boys  of  a  gang  would  try  to  stop 
the  smaller,  young  ones  from  growing  bigger  in  telling  them:  "Now,  look  here, 
boys,  we  are  so  good  and  human  that  we  decided  to  stop  all  fighting  among  our- 
selves in  the  whole  gang  when  you  agree  with  us  that  we  all  should  remain  at  our 
present  size  and  strength  and  not  to  grow  bigger."  Would  this  so-called  humanity 
not  be  a  senseless  and  unreasonable  selfishness  of  those  big  boys  trying  to  stop 
the  natural  law,  to  keep  themselves  in  power  forever?  And  if  nations  try  to  do 
the  same  is  that  anything  else?  An  old,  declining  man  has  sense  enough  to  real- 
ize that  he  can  no  more  grow  bigger  and  stronger,  and  does  not  denounce  his  sons 
with  vile  names  because  they  outgrow  him  in  strength;  then  why  should  an  old 
nation  that  has  declined  already  from  her  first  all-powerful  strength  so  far  that 
she  has  to  call  on  the  whole  human  race  to  help  defend  herself  against  a  single, 
young  nation,  not  have  sense  enough  to  realize  that  she  is  a  worn  out  old  body, 
and  cannot  get  young  again,  and  grow  bigger  and  stronger  by  the  support  of 
others,  and  declining  in  her  own  individual  life?  It  is  the  sacred  duty  of  the  gov- 
ernment of  a  nation  and  all  individual  life  therein,  to  fight  for  the  existence  and 
prolonging  of  life  of  that  body  wherein  they  live,  but  with  our  advanced  knowledge 
of  life  and  human  history,  we  should  begin  to  realize  without  selfishness  that  all 
our  present  big  and  powerful  nations  commenced  growing  out  of  a  small  unit  and 
to  grow  bigger  they  all  had  to  conquer  and  to  subdue  other  free  life  and  nations, 
and  when  our  present  young,  growing  nations  have  to  do  exactly  the  same,  then 
why  do  we  denounce  them  with  vile  names  and  try  to  change  the  universal  body- 
law  for  our  own  selfish  ambition? 

When  we  know  and  can  see  that  life  can  exist  and  develop  only  by  everlasting 
changes  from  one  form  or  body  to  another,  and  to  do  so  it  requires  force  and  so 
produces  power  and  life,  then  how  is  it  possible  for  us  humans  to  believe  that  we 
are  an  exception,  and  can  be  born  and  continue  to  live  without  the  dissolution  of 
our  bodies  to  help  create  again  by  degrees  that  very  plant  and  animal  life  which 
we  live  on?  If  we  want  peace  then  we  have  to  decay  and  die  out,  because  struggle 
is  life  and  peace  is  death — this  is  the  universal  body-law. 

I  herewith  challenge  everyone  to  disprove  with  sensible  and  understandable 
arguments  this  thought-out  new  truth,  and  if  anyone  can  give  another  sensible  and 
reasonable  explanation  of  the  meaning  and  the  purpose  for  the  existence  of  all 
body-life  in  the  universe,  I  will  renounce  this  teaching  as  the  greatest  lie  ever  in- 
vented, but  this  new  thought-out  truth  cannot  and  never  will  be  disproved  with 
meaningless  and  mysteriously  empty  phrases  about  God,  and  with  the  discovery  of 
new  stars,  new  substances  and  elements,  without  any  explanation  of  the  cause 
and  purpose  for  their  existence.
